Acceptance Testing

This is arguably the most important type of testing, as it is conducted by the Quality Assurance Team who will gauge whether the application meets the intended specifications and satisfies the client’s requirement. The QA team will have a set of prewritten scenarios and test cases that will be used to test the application.

More ideas will be shared about the application and more tests can be performed on it to gauge its accuracy and the reasons why the project was initiated. Acceptance tests are not only intended to point out simple spelling mistakes, cosmetic errors, or interface gaps, but also to point out any bugs in the application that will result in system crashes or major errors in the application.

By performing acceptance tests on an application, the testing team will deduce how the application will perform in production. There are also legal and contractual requirements for acceptance of the system.

Alpha Testing: This test is the first stage of testing and will be performed amongst the teams (developer and QA teams). Unit testing, integration testing and system testing when combined together is known as alpha testing. During this phase, the following aspects will be tested in the application:

1: Spelling Mistakes

2: Broken Links

3: Cloudy Directions

4: The Application will be tested on machines with the lowest specification to test loading times and any latency problems.

Beta Testing: This test is performed after alpha testing has been successfully performed. In beta testing, a sample of the intended audience tests the application. Beta testing is also known as pre-release testing. Beta test versions of software are ideally distributed to a wide audience on the Web, partly to give the program a "real-world" test and partly to provide a preview of the next release. In this phase, the audience will be testing the following:

1:Users will install, run the application and send their feedback to the project team.

2: Typographical errors, confusing application flow, and even crashes.

3: Getting the feedback, the project team can fix the problems before releasing the software to the actual users.

4: The more issues you fix that solve real user problems, the higher the quality of your application will be.

5: Having a higher-quality application when you release it to the general public will increase customer satisfaction.
